Publication number: 20240126086Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for operating a head-mounted display system based on user perceptibility. The display system may be an augmented reality display system configured to provide virtual content on a plurality of depth planes by presenting the content with different amounts of wavefront divergence. Some embodiments include obtaining an image captured by an imaging device of the display system. Whether a threshold measure or more of motion blur is determined to be exhibited in one or more regions of the image. Based on a determination that the threshold measure or more of motion blur is exhibited in one or more regions of the image, one or more operating parameters of the wearable display are adjusted. Example operating parameter adjustments comprise adjusting the depth plane on which content is presented (e.g., by switching from a first depth plane to a second depth plane), adjusting a rendering quality, and adjusting power characteristics of the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Lionel Ernest Edwin, Ivan Li Chuen Yeoh, Samuel A. Miller, Edwin Joseph Selker, Adam Charles Carlson, Bjorn Nicolaas Servatius Vlaskamp, Paul M. Greco

Publication number: 20240108217Abstract: A display system can include a head-mounted display configured to project light to an eye of a user to display virtual image content at different amounts of divergence and collimation. The display system can include an inward-facing imaging system images the user's eye and processing electronics that are in communication with the inward-facing imaging system and that are configured to obtain an estimate of a center of rotation of the user's eye. The display system may render virtual image content with a render camera positioned at the determined position of the center of rotation of said eye.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Samuel A. MILLER, Lomesh AGARWAL, Lionel Ernest EDWIN, Ivan Li Chuen YEOH, Daniel FARMER, Sergey Fyodorovich PROKUSHKIN, Yonatan MUNK, Edwin Joseph SELKER, Bradley Vincent STUART, Jeffrey Scott SOMMERS

Publication number: 20240094528Abstract: A wearable device may include a head-mounted display (HMD) for rendering a three-dimensional (3D) virtual object which appears to be located in an ambient environment of a user of the display. The relative positions of the HMD and one or more eyes of the user may not be in desired positions to receive, or register, image information outputted by the HMD. For example, the HMD-to-eye alignment may vary for different users and may change over time (e.g., as a user moves around and/or the HMD slips or is otherwise displaced). The wearable device may determine a relative position or alignment between the HMD and the user's eyes. Based on the relative positions, the wearable device may determine if it is properly fitted to the user, may provide feedback on the quality of the fit to the user, and may take actions to reduce or minimize effects of any misalignment.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Lionel Ernest EDWIN, Zachary C. NIENSTEDT, Ivan Li Chuen YEOH, Samuel A. MILLER, Yan XU, Jordan Alexander CAZAMIAS

Patent number: 11916273Abstract: A rotary joint includes a shaft having a first end, a second end, and a cavity. The rotary joint includes a first waveguide section having a first proximal end and a first distal end. The first proximal end of the first waveguide section is positioned within the cavity and secured to the inner surface of the shaft. The rotary joint includes a second waveguide section that includes a second proximal end and a second distal end. The second proximal end of the second waveguide section is positioned within the cavity of the shaft and unsecured to the inner surface of the shaft to form a radial gap between an outer surface of the second proximal end and a laterally adjacent portion of the inner surface of the shaft. The shaft and the first waveguide section are configured to rotate about the rotational axis and relative to the second waveguide section.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Waymo LLCInventors: Zhe Li, Samuel Lenius, Chia-Hung Lin, Craig Moriwaki, William Martin Peters, Jr., Kelvin Kwong, Robert J.

Patent number: 11314524Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method, apparatus and computer program product for managing service containers. According to example implementations of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for managing a group of service containers. In the method, in response to receiving a backup demand on a group of to-be-generated service containers, a configuration file for generating the group of service containers is built on the basis of the backup demand, the configuration file comprising scripts for installing backup agencies that perform backup operations to the group of service containers. An image file for initializing the group of service containers is loaded to at least one node in a service container management system so as to create a group of basic running environments.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2019Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: EMC IP HOLDING COMPANY LLCInventors: Samuel Li, Terry Xu, Eddie Dai, Eason Jiang, Zhongyi Zhou

Patent number: 8426253Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a die, a lead, and an electrically-conductive structure that is arranged to facilitate electrical communication between the die and the lead. The device also includes a potting material, in which the electrically conductive structure, the die, and at least part of the lead are embedded. An electrically-conductive housing encases the potting material and forms exterior packaging of the device. During manufacturing, the electrically-conductive structure, the die, and at least part of the lead may be arranged within the electrically-conductive housing either before or after the potting material is disposed in the housing. When the integrated circuit device is operating, heat is removable from the die via a thermal conduction path formed by the electrically-conductive structure, the potting material, and the electrically-conductive housing.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2012Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Vishay General Semiconductor LLCInventors: Peter Chou, Lucy Tian, Ivan Fu, Samuel Li, May-Luen Chou

Patent number: 8028239Abstract: A management user interface can be generated at run time via subtractive extensible context-based filtering. Definitions of user interface elements can include an indication of appropriate contexts for which the user interface elements are to be shown. Context factors can include application state, external state, surface or element definitions, or some combination thereof. The context-based filtering approach allows definition of user interface elements and user interface surfaces so that appearance of additional elements in the appropriate surfaces can be accomplished without programming. For example, a user interface surface definition can specify categories of user interface elements. At run time, those user interface elements of the category can be chosen for display. When new elements relating to the category are added, the new elements appear when the surface is rendered. Other features include heterogeneous type selection and exact number homogeneous type selection.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2003Date of Patent: September 27, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Hilal Al-Hilali, Mark Sok-Man Hong, Daniel Thomas Travison, Jr., Jonathan Marshall Rowlett, Samuel Li, John Anthony Messec, Abhishek Gulati
